Optical and Mechanical Characteristics of Fibers Made of Arsenic Chalcogenides
Abstract
Optical and mechanical characteristics of optical fibers made of high-purity chalcogenide glasses of As-S, As-S-Se, As-Se and Ge-As-Se systems, intended for operation in the middle IR, are given. The fibers from As-S glass will be useful for transmission of IR-radiation in the 1-7 microns spectral region, the fibers on the basis of As-Se and Ge-As-Se glass systems - in the 2-12 microns region. The multimode fibers from arsenic-sulfide and arsenic-selenide glasses have the minimum optical losses equal to 23 +/-8 dB/km and 79 +/-10dB/km at 2.4 and 4.5 microns, respectively.
